Players fond of the old adage “if it ain’t broke…” haven’t played a JB•2™. You see, the G&L JB•2 is all about refinement, blending “holy grail” Alnico single-coil tone with modern Leo Fender† improvements. The JB•2’s classic Alnico V pickups have tone reminiscent of the best examples from the early ‘60s, thanks to the work of Paul Gagon, G&L VP Engineering. Gagon found his inspiration reviewing original prints stored in Leo Fender’s private laboratory at G&L, but that was just the start. About 30 years ago, Gagon was an R&D; engineer at another company when he was tasked with finding out what was so special about the early bolt-on basses many players raved about. Gagon tirelessly analyzed many examples of what were considered holy grail basses, spending time out on the shop floor talking to builders still working in the pickup department since the ‘50s, all on a quest to discover where the real mojo was – and wasn’t. What he learned from the builders matched his own engineering analysis. You see, back in the day, the actual spec of pickups coming down that old production line varied considerably. That meant coming up with the right specs was more challenging than simply following the prints, and Gagon’s persistence paid off as the JB-2 serves up delicious, classic tone. While the pickups are the origin of the tone, the JB•2 will surprise you with a clarity and sustain unmatched by old basses with their rudimentary bridge design. You see, the JB•2 features an innovative G&L Saddle-Lock™ bridge to transfer string energy right into the body end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument. If you’re ready to let go of the past but still love that classic Alnico tone, get your hands on a JB•2 and experience a brilliant mash-up of old-school and new-school Leo. Once you play a G&L Tribute Series, you’ll never look back. Learn More

Roger Sadowsky's goal was always to further improve an already very successful bass design by making a number of detailed improvements. Along with the electronics, which he developed by himself, he succeeded to raise the well-known P/J bass sound to a new level, so today you can speak of a typical Sadowsky tone: Never harsh or shrill sounding, with strong, powerful but never muddy bass, with present, but not too aggressive mids, and a sweet and airy treble range. All features of this modern bass sound can also be found in the 21-Fret Hybrid P/J basses of the MetroExpress series. All basses are lightweight. A good choice for bass players who are looking for a lightweight solution for the stage in addition to a modern bass sound. This version of the Sadowsky Hybrid P/J Bass features a Tobacco Burst finish, a white pickguard, and a Morado (Pau Ferro) fingerboard.

The Fender Precision Bass has been offered in a myriad of models in its nearly 70 years of existence, including a number of "reissues". One of the coolest variants was the Elite II, which was introduced in mid-1983, and was only made for two years (1983 - 1984). This particular Elite II bass is an early one, made in 1983 at Fender's factory in California. This was Fender's high-end line of the time, and their second attempt at an active bass. The Elite II has two split humbucking pickups with an active preamp and a normal (passive) tone control. The high-mass chrome Schaller bridge is missing the fine tuners but works just fine without them. The output jack is mounted on the side of the body. It has Schaller deluxe tuners and Schaller strap locks. It has overall signs of play wear and surface wear consistent with an instrument that's nearly 40 years old. The worst of the wear being dents and finish loss along the lower bout of the body -  see photos for details. The frets are in great shape and have many years of life in them. The neck is nice and straight with very comfortable, low action and the truss rod functions perfectly. All electronics and parts are in perfect working condition. Comes with a tweed hardshell case.
